Ecofriendly synthesis and characterization of Ni2+ codoped silica magnesium zirconium copper nanoceramics for wastewater treatment applications

A. M. Mansour et al.

Summary: This article investigates the effect of Ni2+ content on the structural, morphological, and magnetic behaviors of silica magnesium zirconium copper nanoceramics calcined at 800 degrees C. Results show that the saturation magnetization decreases and the magnetic hysteresis loop exhibits a superparamagnetic behavior with increasing Ni2+ content. Spectral analysis reveals the possibility of direct and indirect transitions in the prepared nanoceramics. Additionally, the antimicrobial and toxicity performance of the nanocomposites were evaluated, with SMZC-0.7Ni showing excellent antimicrobial potential against multiple pathogens.

Modern Template Design and Biological Evaluation of Cephradine-loaded Magnesium Calcium Silicate Nanocomposites as an Inhibitor for Nosocomial Bacteria in Biomedical Applications

Amany M. El Nahrawy et al.

Summary: Magnesium calcium silicate nanostructures loaded with Cephradine drug particles were successfully prepared by sol-gel method and exhibited strong bactericidal effects against tested bacterial strains, especially E.coli. The increase in Velosef concentration in the nanostructure led to a decrease in optical bandgap. The results suggest that nanostructures loaded with 1.2 wt% Cephradine could serve as a powerful bactericidal agent for eliminating nosocomial pathogens, with potential applications in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

Microbiologically-Synthesized Nanoparticles and Their Role in Silencing the Biofilm Signaling Cascade

Dibyajit Lahiri et al.

Summary: The rise of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to the exploration of alternative antimicrobial treatment strategies, with engineered nanoparticles becoming more common for efficient penetration into living systems. Microbial enzymes/proteins are increasingly being used as reducing agents for synthesizing nanoparticles due to their speed, environmental safety, and cost-effectiveness. Fungi and bacteria are preferred biogenic sources for their ability to produce high levels of reductase enzymes and regulate the size and morphology of synthesized nanoparticles, which can reduce manufacturing costs. The penetration of nanoparticles through biofilm matrix allows them to inhibit bacterial growth and disrupt cell-to-cell communication mechanisms, ultimately preventing biofilm formation and associated chronic diseases.
